Chateau Carignan Cotes de Bordeaux Cadillac 2014

Intense red dark color and brilliance. The nose is complex with a wide range of aromas. Long and fleshy mouth with a tannic structure, concentrated flavors of black fruit, cassis, blackberries, cocoa and spices for a mouth very well balanced.

The Lord's domain of Carignan first appeared on registers in the 11th Century and was built on the site of a Roman villa. It was a gift to Jean Poton de Xaintrailles from Charles VII, king of France. Poton de Xaintrailles, a companion in arms of Joan of Arc, built the present castle in 1452 and one year later crushed the English army led by Connetable Talbot at the battle of Castillon, thus putting an end to the Hundred Year War, enabling the Aquitaine region to return to French rule.
